Tired of his oafish nickname, Lumpy Rutherford (Frank Bank) gets even by saddling Beaver (Jerry Mathers) with a derisive nickname of his own: "Freckles." Not surprisingly, Beaver becomes quite self-conscious about this designation, to the point that he wants to remove his freckles by any means possible -- including obscuring them with his mom's makeup, and even applying sandpaper. Fortunately, our hero is mollified by the example of one Clyde Appleby (Stephen Wootton).
